Possible UFO in NASA archive image

Damn, streetcap1 may have actually found something for once. The image has apparently been stretched in the media coverage but the item labeled as a "TRB", UFO image shows up along the far right side of the image just above the mountains in the NASA archive. Given the other Apollo images with which I am familiar there is no ready explanation for this one. As it is a reimage from the originals, we will need expert analysis to verify that no stray light could have been included in the rescan process. Absent that, this does appear to be a UFO of some sort.

If you look at the object (at 1:35 on the video) you will notice that the object moves from the left to the right, between the camera and the LM. This means the object is closer to the camera than the LM (so the object is small). Since this video is taken during the separation of the LM and Control Module, it will likely be debris moving through the frame due to the force being released during the separation process.
